Man Shows Up For Court In Bumblebee Costume

OLATHE, Kan. -- A man who came to a court hearing wearing a bumblebee costume -- to protest what he called a "sting" operation by prosecutors -- left a judge buzzing.

Conrad J. Braun, 54, was in Johnson County District Court on Friday to hear a judge rule whether a blackmail case filed against him last summer should go to trial.

District Judge John Anderson III was not amused by Braun's getup, which included yellow stripes, cloth wings and a foot-long stinger.

Anderson told Braun that although there is no rule prohibiting the wearing of such a suit in court, the judge has a duty to uphold court decorum.

Braun assured the judge that he meant no contempt to the court and promised he would not do it again.

1. LOL!!! That's pretty clever.

A clever way to get tossed in the pokey, but still clever.
